Mushrooms are low in calories and a rich source of B vitamins. I love them sautéed, grilled, baked and stuffed with a mixture of flavorful ingredients. These Mediterranean Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms are to-die-for. If you haven’t tried them yet, they are simple to make and loaded with good nutrients!
These gluten-free stuffed button mushrooms aren’t made with breadcrumbs, like many traditional stuffed mushroom recipes. These sausage stuffed Mushrooms are packed with flavor from the dried tomatoes, sweet onion, cheese, herbs and spices, and cooked crumbled sweet Italian sausage. I also think toasted pine nuts would be a great addition to this mix. I don’t know about you, but I love lots of texture going on in a bite-size hors d’oeuvrve.
